The

Church

is

based

on Jesus’

teaching

to

‘

love one

another

’.

Church leaders

have been

appointed by

God

The Church

shows how Jesus

and

the apostles

dealt

with

moral

issues.

God only

Speaks/

communicates

to his followers

through church

leaders

God is able to

speak through

church leaders

The Church

only

preaches

God’s word

and

t

herefore

teaches

Christians

exactly

what

God

wants.

The tradition

of the Church

should be

respected.

The

Church is

the Body of

Christ on earth

and so is able

to teach as

Jesus would.

Christ

is called

the Head of

the Church in

the New

Testament – so

Church teachings

come from Jesus

The

Holy

Spirit is

present in

the Church

today.

Jesus taught that the Church was the most importantsource of moral authority.

Church leaders are able to give the correct guidance on all moral issues.Slide8

Grade C

You will

list

reasons

why some Christians

only use the Church as a basis for making moral decisions.Did you achieveYOUR goals?… Outcomes…Slide9

In groups of

FOUR

get

an

A3 sheet

and 4 different coloured pens (1 each).You are competing against other members in your group – pride is at stake.Start with one edge of the sheet each… so either bible, church, conscience or situation ethics.You have 2 minutes to come up with

one advantage and one disadvantage for your section.

After 2 minutes you with then turn the paper

around

and add to

another

section – until you have done

all four

.

THE WINNER = Someone who got something in EVERY section – if this is more than one person it will then go on the quality of your responses. Slide10

Now

as a group

– look carefully at the

disadvantages

– It is because of these that many Christians believe a variety of moral

authorities should be used rather than just one.In the middle of your page can you come up with some reasons WHY Christians use a variety of authorities when making moral decisions. Slide11

Why

some

Christians use a

variety of authorities

when making moral decisions…

Choose any FOUR (from your group work OR below) and get them in your book under the subheading above…Some of the information from the authorities may be outdated and cannot help with modern situations.Some sources of authority are dependent on the person having sufficient knowledge to make the decision, which they may not have.Some sources of authority may have solutions that are not acceptable in today’s society. They may think that a mixture of sources of authority will give a more informed choice.Different authorities can be used in different situations.

Some sources of authority might not give advice on a certain issue.

EXTENSION:

Can you give any

EXAMPLES

to go with these points?Slide12

Grade B

evaluate

Christian sources of moral authority and

explain

why some Christians use a variety of sources when making moral decisions.Did you achieveYOUR goals?… Outcomes…Slide13
